Quickly produce the complete set of design and construction documentation (area plans,floor plans,cross-sections,axonometric views, together with schedules and tables).More info

Take full control of time and cost of your project and take advantage of the powerful ACCA software integration features

You have dedicated environments for project time management (4D) and cost calculation (5D). The Real Time Rendering integration allows you to check the results of your work in real time. Integrate architecture with structural calculations and cost estimating using the specific internal functions.More info

Communicate project ideas to customers and investors more effectively

You have all the necessary tools for producing extraordinary presentations: renderings, real time renderings, virtual tours, video and animations together with scene photo-montages and photo editing. More info

Work safely in the BIM process

Import and export in the IFC standard format to collaborate in the BIM process with the various other construction industry professionals with the assurance of a software certified by buildingSMART.More info

5 different working environments to address all aspects of architectural design.
A unique 2D or 3D input and an integrated BIM Objects Library to create the BIM model and dynamically generate detailed floor plans,elevation views,cross-sections,axonometric and isometric cutaway views.

Architecture and interior design

Edificius allows you to deal with the design of all types buildings with great simplicity and speed. You can complete and enrich the project with furniture and environment characterization that you can download for free directly from the Online BIM Objects Library. From simple object oriented modelling you automatically get all the relevant project drawings.

Garden and landscape design

Edificius is the simple and effective tool for integrating architecture and landscape design. Projects gardens, parks, landscape and outdoor spaces with easy-to-use tools for drawing walls, pools, fences, flowerbeds, courtyards and many other landscaping related objects. Get detailed floor plans, complete them with legends and customize them freely ready for export in the DXF, DWG and PDF formats.

MEP systems modeling

Edificius allows you to model the building's technical installations while defining the architectural model, get an overview of the building-plant system, evaluate spatial coherence of the plant system networks in order to avoid that they interfere with room functionalities or aesthetics.

Remodellings and renovation projects

Edificius offers a dedicated environment for addressing building remodellings and work variations. In a single environment, manage two BIM models (the surveyed stage and design stage) and automatically produce a comparative table and the relating cost estimate of the planned interventions.

Integrated CAD

Edificius also includes Edificius-CAD, a professional 2D and 3D DWG CAD software, with interface, drawing modality and commands similar to the most popular professional CAD systems on the market. With Edificius-CAD integrated in Edificius you import DXF / DWG files and you can edit them directly in Edificius with lines, polylines, arcs, circles, blocks, screens, splines, 3D polylines, mesh, face, 3D face solids, helix, point cloud, revision cartoon.

BIM integration with Sketchup®

Edificius provides a dynamic integration feature with Sketchup® to satisfy creativity needs even for the most demanding design tasks. Create 3D solid models of any type and shape for maximum freedom of expression.

Google Maps® Importer

With the Edificius Google Maps® Importer, terrain modeling becomes simple and immediate. Locate the area to be surveyed and with a simple click rebuild the terrain's digital elevation map directly from Google Maps® satellite imagery acquiring the area's precise altitude data.

BIM integration with BLENDER®

Edificius can also integrate the BIM model with BLENDER® too, one of the best solid modeling solutions. Enrich your Edificius project with additional objects modeled using BLENDER® and use its specific features that are comparable to other well-known 3D modeling programs such as 3D Studio Max® and Maya®.

All the advantages of integrationYou always have full control of your project, from every point of view...

Project timing, costs, other interdisciplinary aspects of the work (structural, energetic, installations). Only with Edificius you have an overall and integrated vision of the entire project

4D BIM (gantt): project time management

Edificius offers a "4D-GANTT" environment for integrated project time and sequencing management. By building up a WBS (Work Breakdown Structure), easily break down the project into elementary parts (periods) and connect them to the objects used in the 3D model. Get a complete simulated overview of project progression by enabling the Gantt chart's timeline.

5D BIM: construction cost estimate directly from the model

With Edificius, construction estimating aspects are fully covered in the most dynamic and flexible way with our PriMus cost estimating solution that reads the metric data directly from the model. Each variation of the architectural model corresponds to a seamless variation in project material quantities and the relating project cost.

Integration with other ACCA software solutions

Edificius supports full integration with our ACCA software solutions for structural calculations (EdiLus) and construction cost estimating (PriMus). Compose your suite of programs in the most appropriate combination according to your skills and your needs. Manage the various interdisciplinary aspects of the project and collaborate with other members of the ACCA community.

Edificius-VR: publish and share your 3D project on the web

With Edificius-VR you can publish your 3D models online and share them with whoever you want. The software saves the BIM file to the cloud and creates a link to share access to the 3D BIM model in virtual reality. All you need is an internet connection and a browser to view the project from your PC, smartphone or tablet.

InteroperabilityDo you want to be fully compliant and take part in the BIM process?

A technology certified by buildingSMART to be able to collaborate in the BIM process in complete safety with the best BIM Authoring and Tools.

Import/Export in IFC format for sharing on collaborative platforms

Edificius can import and export in the IFC standard format. The IFC is the "common" file format, an information model, which allows all team designers (architectural, structural, plant engineering, etc.) to exchange their BIM models, regardless of the software they use. The Edificius IFC 2x3 import and export feature compliant with Coordination View vers. 2.0, is fully certified by buildingSMART International.

Sharing the project on the usBIM collaborative platform

You can use usBIM to share the project with other IFC certified BIM software. usBIM is the first visual system for BIM management supporting creation and management of the BIM model in open formats implementing full integration of open digital platforms, plug-ins and software (BIM authoring/BIM tools) which able to create and manage the digital BIM model during the entire lifecycle of the building, from design to construction leading through to maintenance and disposal.

With Edificius you no longer need multiple software solutions for your architectural design needs. With a single software you can fully satisfy your architecture, outdoor spaces and gardens, interior design and plant installations design needs.

Edificius gives you everything you need for documentation (floor plans, elevations, cross-sections, axonometric views, working drawings) and the presentation of the project (automatic rendering, video and animations, tools for photo insertion and photo editing).

YES. With Edificius you can collaborate in the BIM process in full security as software certified by buildingSMART .

BIM (Building Information Modeling) is increasingly becoming an industry changing reality that implies collaboration, interoperability and coordination between the different actors of the construction sector. With Edificius you can work with the best BIM Authoring Tools certified by Building Smart International.
